Quick Summary

  • Many SFO suppliers bundle core protections in the price on mainstream classes.
  • All‑Inclusive+ from Hola Car Rentals highlights maximum coverage on selected routes.
  • Open the rate details to confirm what cover and excess apply to your vehicle.

Cross the Presidio at sunrise, wind up to Muir Woods the next morning, and finish with a tasting in Napa. Trips like this feel easier when essential cover is already in place, so you are focusing on timing and parking rather than paperwork at the counter.

Start by comparing offers for car rental at SFO and open the conditions panel next to each price. You will see whether Collision Damage Waiver, Theft Protection and Third‑Party Liability are included, plus any excess and deposit requirements shown in plain language.

Which companies usually include insurance

At San Francisco International, Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz and National often bundle core protections within the headline figure for compact to full‑size classes. Inclusions and excess levels vary by supplier, season and car type, so always read the cover list carefully before you proceed. To compare counter by counter, check Avis pricing at SFO, review Enterprise coverage details, and verify National inclusions at SFO.

All‑Inclusive+ and added protection

Hola Car Rentals marks the All‑Inclusive+ Rate where available, designed to emphasise maximum coverage so you can step away from the counter faster. On selected itineraries you will also see Maximum liability coverage up to $300,000 and Free travel insurance up to US$150,000. These extras help when plans change between Lombard Street, the Embarcadero and Highway 1.

Logistics matter too. Our airport page with SFO terminal pickup guidance maps the route to the Rental Car Center. Travelling as a group and need space for luggage and strollers? Scan San Francisco minivan rentals and compare layouts before you pay.

What is not part of insurance

Fuel, tolls, parking and fines are never included in insurance. Roadside assistance packages, child seats and GPS are optional. Specialty vehicles and long one‑way trips can carry different cover rules. For a refresher on airport logistics and tolling around the Bay, our short guide on AirTrain and toll tips is a helpful pre‑departure read.

FAQs

  • Is liability cover required in California? Yes. Offers display the included liability and any excess or deposit clearly.
  • Do I need an International Driving Permit? UK and EU licences are widely accepted with a passport. An IDP helps when licences are not in Roman characters.
  • Are windscreens and tyres covered? Coverage varies. Some suppliers sell glass and wheel protection as an add‑on.
  • Does the price include roadside assistance? Often not. You can add it at checkout when available.
  • Can I add a second driver? Yes on most bookings. Eligibility and fees depend on the supplier and driver ages.
